Anyone playing diablo 3 on a Mac?

Yeah, why?

[Fabio]

it starts up fine and then as soon as it goes into windows it soemtimes blue screens ans switches off completly. then when you put it on its fine for a while and then when ever you go on the internet the GPU keeps "failing" for lack of the correct word and after about 3 or 4 times it blue screens...

That happened to me as well when I had my pc.

I got a new HD5850 gpu, and it bombed out in every single game even when you're pc's just idling it would've bombed out as well.
Turned out, it was overheating, got it replaced with a brand new XFX gamer's edt, and everything went smooth sailing from thre onward.

Maybe get Joker to check out your gpu temps?

Thats so irritating. Would be helpful if you could get another GPU and test if it is that.

ja thats what Joker needs to do cause my Bf's GPu does not fit on my board i think... otherwise he would have tried that by now. will ask him again tongiht.

its funny it never did it in game hey... only when on the internet. now its doing it when i want to watch a video or sometimes even when the pc is idle

Omega, I also play on my Macbook when I am not at home.

Yeah, why?

Omega you have the Macbook Pro 15"?

Spooner, you?

I'm also playing on mine, but I just have the normal macbook (the old white one)

It's got a dual core processor, 2Gb ram and nvidia gt330M gpu

But the game 's laggy, I don't know whether it's the laptop itself or whether it's my internet connection (using iburst atm).

Details set to low running at 1280x800 res

Does your boyfriend have an antique for a pc then?

Why would it not fit, surely it's a pci-e slot?

Or am I missing the plot completely?

I have the 2011 15" MBP and at Max Setting it runs at constant 25 - 30 FPS.

If you press Ctr + R its shows your FPS, that should give you an idea of if its the machine or ur connection. I've gotten the odd day where it will be laggy as hell but that seems to be more the connection than anything else.

Ahhh I see, didn't know about the Ctr + R option.

Thanks man!

Have you tried bootcamp on it yet?

[OmegaFenix]

Have you tried bootcamp on it yet?

Yeah, ran like Shit in Windows & Since D3 supports Mac OS natively there is little reason to re-install it in Bootcamp.

I have the white Macbook. On low it runs OK, not great though.
